Intrinsic Factor Secretion in Response to Continuous Histamine Infusion

Intrinsic factor secretion after vagotomy.

The intrinsic factor (IF) output during basal and Histalog-stimulated gastric secretion has been estimated in two series of patients with chronic duodenal ulcer before and 3 months or more after treatment by either highly selective vagotomy or truncal vagotomy and pyloroplasty. The effects of the two different vagotomy operations appear to be virtually identical and each produced significant re...

Intrinsic factor secretion in gastric atrophy.

EDITORIAL SYNOPSIS The appearance of the gastric biopsy histologically has been correlated with assay of the intrinsic factor and acid content of the gastric juice, and also with vitamin B12 absorption studies. The loss of intrinsic factor parallels the loss of gastric secretory cells. The assay of intrinsic factor proved a better index of secretory capacity of the mucosa than either acid produ...

Stimulation of Gastric Intrinsic Factor Secretion.

It is uncertain whether the abnormal findings indicate impaired liver function. It has been suggested that they may be a result of the pseudopregnancy state (Tyler, 1964). , While the B.S.P.-removal mechanisms have been found to be impaired in normal pregnancy (Combes et al., 1963), the serum-transaminase levels and the standard B.S.P. retention are not abnormal (Christhilf et al., 1950 ; Combe...
